Notes

Add vanilla bean and banana chips after fermentation has finished and leave for a week before packaging. To minimize floating sediment in your beer, put orange peel and coriander into a hop bag before adding.

Overall Impression: A harmonious marriage of fruit, spice, and beer, but still recognizable as a beer. The fruit and spice character should each be evident but in balance with the beer, not so forward as to suggest an artificial product.
